    D
In '85,
Tuesday morning,
Came alive,
I didn't know ya
Bm
Route 66 is gone,
And reagan's here,
It won't be long
    G
Nintendo comes,
Live aid, too,
Back to the future
Where were you,
 D
While i spent all my days
               A
In catholic school?

In '89, the dream begins
First in line to California
Pete Rose is banned for good
The Simpsons come to Hollywood
Russia leaves Afghanistan,
Flight 103 ends Pan Am
Bush is here, this is the year
That I feel most alone

Chorus:
 D  A
No more
G
Countin' down the hours
 G  D
No more
 A
Wishin' you were here
D            A
I stopped believin',
G
Although journey told me 'don't'
                    D
Before i call it a day,
A                    D A
Maybe this'll be my year
G                      D G
Maybe this'll be my year
A                    D A
Maybe this'll be my year
G                      D G
Maybe this'll be my year

In '92, a boy is born
The skies were blue in Ohio
Boris Yeltsin chills
Freddie dies, but Queen is still
Barcelona has the games
Lady Di is single again
Clinton wins, and I still dream
That I'll find you someday
In '97, a baby girl
Adds some heaven to the world
Tony Blair tips the scales
Elton sings for the Princess of Wales
Microsoft buys into Mac
My dad has a second heart attack
And Train leaves San Francisco
In a thousand-dollar van

Chorus:
(No more)
Countin' down the hours
(No more)
Wishin' you were here
I stopped believin', although Journey told me don't
Before I call it a day
Maybe this'll be my year
Maybe this'll be my year
Maybe this'll be my year
Maybe this'll be my year

Em
2001, the towers fell
D/F#
The world is stunned, I wish I knew ya
G                      A
I was on a plane, the world would never be the same

The artificial heart is born
Ironic when New York's is torn out, woah-oh-oh

D
2004, began in May
On tour when I met ya
Bm
Facebook joins the Internet
Oldsmobile joins the cassette
G
I met your family
It took a while 'til you kissed me
              D                      A
But when you did, I finally felt at home

Chorus:
I stopped believin', although Journey told me don't
Before I call it a day
Maybe this'll be my year
Maybe this'll be my year
Maybe this'll be my year
Maybe this'll be my year

2012, and all I know
Is everybody comes and goes
Everybody sings and cries
Makes the grade and takes the prize
In something, nothing, I don't care
Because I always know that you'll be here
With me
